I'd rather miss a bounce than catch a falling knife. Especially when that knife just dropped 30% in a single session. Karim Rahemtulla, Head Fundamental Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance I'm known for being a metals guy. I got people into gold and silver years ago. I made a fortune in Seabridge. I bought Hecla under $3 and watched it climb to $23. So when silver crashed nearly 30% last Friday, my phone started buzzing. Friends, subscribers, neighbors - all asking the same question: "Is this the dip to buy?" Silver's sitting at $80 after touching $115 just days ago. Down 30% in one session. Looks like a bargain, right? Not to me. Look, my situation is different. I'm playing with house money on these positions. When Hecla swings 20% in a day, I'm not losing sleep. My cost basis is $2.90. But if I were putting fresh capital to work today? Different story entirely. People who completely ignored precious metals for years now want to "buy the dip" at $80 silver. These are the same folks who thought I was nuts accumulating miners when nobody cared about the sector. Now they want in after a 300%+ run, just because it pulled back 30% from the peak. That's not value investing. That's trying to catch a falling knife. Silver in the $40s - that's where I'd consider backing up the truck with new money. Maybe. Gold around $3,000 on a real correction. Will we get there? Who knows. Silver could bounce tomorrow and never see those levels again. Or it could keep bleeding for months. But I'd rather miss a bounce than catch a falling knife. Especially when that knife just dropped 30% in a single session. When I bought Hecla at $2.90, people laughed. "Dead money sector." "Gold bugs living in the past." I bought anyway because the risk-reward was obvious. At $86 silver after a face-ripping rally? The risk-reward doesn't work for fresh money. You're hoping to time the bottom of a correction in something that just went parabolic. That's speculation, not investing. SPONSORED Breaking News: Trump Unlocks $21 Trillion for Everyday Americans? President Trump just signed a new law… That could unlock $21 trillion for everyday folks like you… And potentially impact every checking and savings account in America. Click here now because Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and U.S. Bancorp… Are already preparing for what could be the biggest change to our financial system in 54 years. The metals bull market isn't dead. Friday's sell-off doesn't change the fundamentals that drove this run. But jumping in at $80 because it's down from $115? That's how you turn potential profits into guaranteed losses. My levels haven't changed. $40s for silver. $3,000 for gold. They seemed impossible when silver was at $115. Now they look a little less crazy after Friday's massacre. Patience pays in this game. The people texting me about buying the dip at $80 are the same ones who ignored my calls at $20. I'll keep waiting for my spots. Even if I never get them. Because the discipline that got me in early is the same discipline that keeps me from chasing crashes. Your Action Plan Friday's sell-off was scary, and a reminder of how volatile silver can get. But if prices can stabilize - and so far this week they have - you could start to look at some miners for potential short put trades. That's when you pick a level you'd like to buy the stock and if it drops there, you get assigned shares. And if it doesn't, you collect the premiums. It's a way to get paid while you wait for your spots. And if you do get assigned, you're buying at levels you already decided made sense. Just remember - even with puts, don't get greedy. Pick strikes where you'd actually want to own the stock long-term, not just because the premium looks juicy. The volatility is your friend when you're selling options. Use it. And if silver were to shoot back up to $115 or more, which is entirely possible, I'd look to short again.
